Well I actually had time to get some more work done on the 700s . Today I went for a short ride to warm it up and then back home to sync the carbs . I had been having a problem where the idle would slowly creep lower and lower at lights once warm . It never stalled out on me but it came close a few times . Sure enough carb #1 was pulling the others , and #3 was runner up . I used my Morgan Carbtune sync tool which to this day is still my favorite way to sync carbs ....hands down . Anyway it seems to have fixed the problem , or at least made it much better . Now when I pull up to a light the engine quickly settles to 1000-1100 and just hangs out there the whole time . It does hunt a little at idle but nothing major at most +/- 100rpm . Coming soon : paint

Sweet deal! Get out and enjoy riding your 'S' off  winker

BTW, when you paint it, are you going to put new decals back on?

Cool. When I redid my plastics and tank I used the decals from cbdecals.com too. Don't forget to clear coat them!
Looking forward to seeing it all done up  aparat

Your bike looks great. I'm impressed with how much work you got done in just over a month. I wish I had half of your spare time to work on the toys.
